Old, White, Straight, Male Voters Ain’t What They Used to Be…: So How do Republicans Reach Everybody Else

Week 8, Nov. 14th: Immigration. No topic has been a bigger
political wedge-issue when it comes to Hispanics. Until 2013,
Democrats had made big promises on reform and legalization and not
delivered. Republicans had made harsh threats on enforcement, and
fizzled out. Mitt Romney went way to the right on immigration in
the Republican primaries; did he self-deport from the White House?
We are in the midst of immigration reform legislation moving
through Congress. By the time this Study Group happens, we may know
whether it’s succeeded or failed. What does the success or failure
of this legislation mean for Republicans and for Hispanics going
forward? Guests: Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida (via Skype)
